AN HONEST MAN
Is the Noblest Handiwork Of God,
Says the Sage.
But He Appears to Be a Scarce Article
Around the Pittsburg Lake
Erie Ry--Other GEN
eral News.

PITTsBURe, Dec. 2O.-[Special. John
Henry, travelling passenger agent of the
Pittsburg 81 Lake Erie railroad, and a
number of officials and clerks in the
passenger department and ticket Offices,
yesterday, received carefully wOrded
notifications signed by President John
Newell and the General Superintend
ent, that they would not be required at
their respective desks for few days,
as the books of the department. were
being audited into order to get ready
for the new system of handling tickets,
about to be adopted by the manage
ment. This is the beginning of
the series of developments in the
passenger department of the Pittsburg
Il Lake Erie railroad, which promises
to assume the proportions of recent
startling disclosures in the freight de-
partment of the Pan Handle railroad.
For months the officials of the road
have suspected that something very
loose OF something positively crooked
has existed in the ticket sales and re-
ceipts of the road, and within a few
weeks have obtained proof that they
were being systematically robbed, but
where, by whom and to what extent
can only be told after careful investi-
cation of the books and accounts OF
the whole department.

DROPPED DEAD.
DIR. Samuel Bechtel, of McDonalds-
vile, Falls From a Lounge
At the Hurford Yesterday Morning at 9
O'clock and Expires in a Few
Minutes-A Very Sad
Ending.

DIR. Samuel Bechtel, of McDonalds-
vile, this county, the well known
cancer doctor, dropped dead yesterday
o'clock. DR.. Bechtel was attending the
wife of Mr.. W. H. Leland, the steward
of the HurfOrd House, who is suffering
from the effects of cancer, and he
came to Canton on Saturday to visit
his patient. He stays "a hours at a
time and he would always sit up with
her the whole night He appeared to
be well and was very communicative
all evening, more so than usual. He
did complain little about rheumatism
in his chest and tightness of breath.
He had been taking medicine for this
complaint and took two doses that
night. About 2:30 o'clock Mrs. Leland
was resting very comfortably and
Mr.. Leland went to bed. Mrs.
Leland says that after midnight
he was fully as loquacious as
he was before. He talked great
deal about the condition of the city 48
years ago. About half past five in the
morning, his wife was awakened by
the doctor walking across the floor. He
looked over to the lounge and she told
him to go and lay down. She had fire.
quently requested him during the even
ing to lay down, but he preferred to
stay up. After he had laid down she
requested him to take a pillow, but he
would not do so. A few minutes
later she saw him raise his head from
the lounge. He Immediately fell of
the lounge upon his face. Mrs. Leland
called to her husband to come and helL
him up. Mr.. Leland instantly appeared
and lifted the doctor upon the lounge
He then felt his pulse but it was almost
gone. He Immediately sent for DR.
johnson and in the meantime began t
bathe his temples with warm water
DR.. johnson soon appeared, but life was
extinct. Mr.. Leland then sent mes
,senger to his son, Martin Bechtel, whit
resides in McDonaldsville, and he came
yesterday afternoon, at 2 o'clock, witt
and undertaken, and took the bodl
awoy. DR.. Bechtel was very highly es
teemed by all who knew him and wa
Is years of age last Tuesday. Hi
death is very much regretted by MI

age which had been sent them, that the
Republicans could well understand and
could give assurance of most profound
sympathy [Laughter.l The message
was to some Democrats summons
from very great way off and it re-
quired that they should traverse great
distance before they could get along
side of their pioneer brother at the end
of the avenue.
Mr.. Hatch said he had hoped that he
could yield the floor to the gentleman
from Maine without the gentleman i'm
proving the opportunity to make pO-
litical harangue. Ifthe gentleu an had
not had an opportunity time and time
again during the Forty ninth Congress
to vote for the consideration of a tariff
bill, and had not always voted against
it, there might be some sincerity in his
talk to-day, [Applause.l
Mr.. Cox, of New York, commented
on what he termed the sudden CONVEX
sion of the gentleman from Maine. He
did not think there had been such a
sudden conversion since the time of
Saul Of Tarsus. Laughterl He did
not know why the gentleman should
urge upon the Speaker an immature
making up of the committee. The
House was without rules, and it had no
committee framed for the reduction of
the tobacco tax. In matter of so
much consequence the House should
give to the Speaker the same Oppor-
tunity which had been accorded to
other Speakers, and it came with little
grace from the gentleman from Maine
to make this sinister and ironical and
sarcastic objection to the message of
the President. He could recall the
time when the most eminent on the
other side of the house had insisted
upon the reduction of the tariff to
prevent the accumulation of a
surplus. Among the rest and
been the gallant man from Maine with
the white plume" Among them had
been Frye and Hale, insisting on the
reduction Of the tax on salt and other
articles exceptslumber. Laughter.l He
would like to see every man in the
House regard this fiscal question as
outside of politics. 1t was a business
question in every sense of the word.
There were members of Congress from
Republican States like Minnesota de-
manding the reduction of taxes, but
this could not be done by picking out
one article. 1t must be general; it must
be stable and permanent. He hoped
that when tariff bill was considered
all parties would unite and act for the
best interests of the whole people, not
for the ACKNOWLEDGMENT of one man or
set of men, or one party. Appiause.l
Mr.. Mills, of Texas, offered as a sub
stitute for Mr.. Hatch's resolution, a
resolution declaring that when the two
Houses adjourn on Thursday, December
%, they stand adjourned until Wednes
day, January4.
Mr.. Hatch accepted the substitute
and the resolution as modified was
agreed to.

Reed, of Maine, Wakes up 8. 8. Cox, Who
Shakes up the Republicans.
WASHINGTON, Dec. 16.-Mr. Hatch,
of Missouri, submitted a concurrent
resolution that when the two Houses
adjourned on Monday, December 10,
they stand adjourned until Thursday,
January 5.
Mr.. Reed, of Maine, inquired the rea-
son for the submission of this resolu-
ton.
Mr.. Hatch replied that it was the
usual resolution brought in at the first
session of Congress.
Mr.. Reed said that the peculiar con-
dition of the business affairs of the
country rendered the action which had
been taken, or rather the non-action
which had been suffered by the Demo-
cratic side of the House, a matter of
legitimate comment both here and be-
fore the country. If there were no
matters of public interest before the
country, such course might awaken
only passing comment, but today
Congress was pressed upon by serious
public duty, which was the reduction
of surplus which was coming into the
treasury in manner calculated to be
an embarrassment to the finances of the
country. All were agreed-a
least on the Republican side-that
this surplus should be reduced
If the gentlemen on the other side
found it somewhat difficult to arrangs
themselves alongside of the recent mess

Fearful Destruction Wrought by Cy

clone in Indian Territory.
LITTLE Rock, Ark, Dec. 197Spe-
cial. IA special from Cove, Polk coun-
ty, reports that a destructive cyclone
visited Armstrong Academy, l. T., Ft.
Washita and Green, on Saturday,
causing great destruction of property
and loss of life. A terrific rumbling
sound was heard about o'clock. 1t
startled the few settlers from their
sleep, only to awaken themto the hor-
ror of impending death. A heavy
black cloud, funnel shaped, was seen in
the distance and rapidly approaching.
When about mile north of Ft. Wash
ita it struck the ground, and from this
point south for miles the work of ruin
was continued. The cyclone travelled
at about the rate of a mile a minute.
In an instant from the time it struck
the earth half the houses in Ft. Washita
were in ruins. Light out houses and
dwellings were picked up and hurled
into kindling wood by the fury of the
wind. Armstrong academy was not
injured, but ranches in the immediate
neighborhood suffered greatly. AT
Green, a little hamlet six miles
south of Armstrong, the damage was
very heavy, and many persons were
injured. Seventeen houses and gen.
eral store were carried away bodily,
while horses and cattle within the ter
ritory covered by the stormking were
killed or manned. The damage at this
time cannot be estimated, as the full
extent of the storm is not known. The
two children killed at Green were
carried about sixty yards by the wind
and dashed to the ground mangled
so as to be almost unrecognizable, and
other stock were also killed by light
ming. The storm only lasted about six
minutes at any one point. The follow
ing are the casualties as far as known

A Lumber Dealers Failure.

PITTSBURGH, Pa, Dec. 21.LSpecial.l
e. L. Packer. one of the largest whole
sale dealers in pine lumber in this Sec
ton has confessed judgment for over
$4,000; $286,701 to the Peoples Ma
tionaI Bank, 81, ,214 to Second National
Bank. When asked concerning this
action, Mr.. Packer said it was caused
by the pressure of western creditors,
and that an extension will probably be
asked for. He is confident the assets
will fully cover the liabilities. He has
extensive lumber yards at Muskegon,
Mich, where he claims to carry an av-
erage of $4,000 worth of stock; his
business, he says, amounts to $l,50OOO0
a year, and slow collections play some
thing of part in the present crisis,
there being total of $4,000 tied up at
three different points. Mr.. Packer has
been in the lumber business here for
six years. The banks interested be-
lieve he will pay dollar for dollar.
